DOPPLER PEAKS FROM COSMIC TEXTURE

We compute the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropies on the microwave sky in the cosmic texture theory, with standard recombination assumed. The spectrum shows ''Doppler'' peaks analogous to those in scenarios based on primordial adiabatic fluctuations such as ''standard cold dark matter,'' but at quite different angular scales. There appear to be excellent prospects for using this as a discriminant between inflationary and cosmic defect theories.
